It could be the pump causing the contamination, if it is excessiely worn. It will also be noisy and you will likely be able to feel some play on the pulley. The rack could also be worn, also the strut top bearings could be shot causing the stiffness, the UJ in the column could also be excessively stiff, it sounds as if you may have more than one problem contributing to the woes.
